Whats wrong with this pitch, week after week games are postponed. You look forward to the game and then it gets postponed for a waterlogged pitch :err:
Think its time Motherwell got their finger out and got the pitch sorted, the weather hasnt been bad enough to have a waterlogged pitch for weeks.
Saturday's Scottish Premier League encounter between Motherwell and Celtic has been postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
The match was scheduled to kick off at 1230 GMT but has failed a 0900 GMT pitch inspection.
Motherwell's Fir Park pitch, which is also being used by Gretna, has been much-criticised this season and the club have had several postponements.
Celtic are three points behind leaders Rangers, who also have a game in hand.
A new date for the fixture is yet to be announced.
A Celtic spokesperson said: "This is extremely disappointing news and once again has caused massive inconvenience for those supporters who travel long distances to matches.
"There is clearly a fundamental issue with this pitch and we would have obvious concerns about future matches taking place at Fir Park including next Sunday's scheduled league tie with Gretna.
"Once again we sincerely sympathise with our supporters given the difficulties this postponement has caused."
